Experienced caregiver with 6 years supporting neurodivergent individuals, particularly those with ADHD and autism. Currently pursuing my second Bachelor's in Neuroscience at George Mason University as I prepare to apply to medical school. My graphic design background brings creativity to caregiving; I develop visual schedules, custom systems, and engaging activities tailored to each person's needs. This artistic approach helps communicate complex ideas and creates functional, inspiring environments. Skilled in medication management, behavioral strategies, and vital signs. I understand the neurological 'why' behind techniques, allowing me to adapt my approach effectively. My method centers on patience, structure, celebrating small victories, and fostering independence and confidence.
